Image-making with drawings and forms of living beings, such as humans and the like
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 6572 ):
Q: In light of the errors made by Muslim pilgrims and others from India and Pakistan , I am concerned about compiling a book on the issues of Hajj in the
Urdu language. And because I need further clarification in depicting certain locations in the Sacred Ka'bah or explaining the method of touching the Black Stone or other such matters, I need to place lines and shapes. The inquiry: Is it permissible, in light of the Book and the Sunnah, to use such lines and shapes mentioned below for image-making?
A: It is not permissible to make images with drawings and forms of living beings, such as humans and the like, even if it is to clarify certain locations in the Sacred Ka'bah , due to the lack of necessity for it, and because of the generality of the evidence for prohibition. And success is from Allah. And may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
